OPEN WORLD DUNGEONS FOR HUNTS, AND TREASURE HUNTING.

OPEN WORLD DUNGEONS

I think if this game had open world dungeons there can be more to do in the open world at higher levels. These dungeons can be open world versions of the dungeons we can already enter with the duty finder (Just the environment, and not the rewards and bosses) or something new altogether .

In 1.0 There were many open dungeons.

But sadly they were removed. I really enjoyed getting lost in these vast spaces.

SO what can these spaces be used for?

HUNTS

Hunts consist of accepting contracts (Advanced Hunting Logs) to kill Notorious Monsters that dwell hidden in these areas.

Similar to FFXII Hunts

Hunts should be geared toward 1-4 players depending on difficulty. Hunted monsters should have a chance to drop high end crafting mats (peacock ore/ Potash etc.) as well as give some tomes.

TREASURE HUNTING

Now i know Treasure Hunting was already announced, but there would be a huge opportunity for treasure hunting in these places.

I think this is what the game needs more depth, more to do at endgame that doesnt involve an instance, and the game just needs to be more layered.

SO yeah i would like to hear any ideas you guys have regarding the topic.

Nice idea, it should be phased between groups and whatnot though in the same method Leve mobs are to prevent monopolization of said mob.

They already have the tools for making treasure hunts at their disposal: Leves.
It is just a matter of balancing out the rewards.

yeah this would be ideal. imagine the rmt taking advantage of this, if it wasnt bound by duty lol

I'd LOVE this.

I feel like open world dungeons are missing from the game and it would be awesome for open world parties (FATES don't count) to make a come back. Closed instanced dungeons are of course, closed.. and are meant for linear progression and not exploration.

1.0 had it, they were called NM's. Speaking of...anyone else find it just wrong that Dodore Wing's are found in a dungeon chest >.<

A piece of game content called "Treasure Hunting" is stated to be added via the incoming 2.1 Patch.

Yes please!! Can we have open world NM too?

Good suggestion. Would add the kind of luck factor that this game is lacking. And just something to do lol
